I'm a 40-something living in Mesa, AZ. I got into shooting because my parents wouldn't let me own any guns. When I was 12, I talked a Marine (friend of my older brother) fresh out of boot camp to go to LaBelle's and buy a Marlin Mod 60 .22lr for me....and so started the obsession.

I bought my first Savage in 2003 when the Accutrigger first came out. It was also my first 'precision' bolt gun. So now I'm here to occasionally flap my gums and hopefully make some friends and learn something in the process.
